ANCIENT ACTS.
Some Stringent Temperance Laws Passed
i'm England Centuries Ago.

Some Stringent Temperance Laws Passed
i'm England Centuries Ago.
The most stringent laws we have mad
passed were those of James l., which
NAV almost be called the first piece Of
temperance legislation; for though the
Act of Edward VI. gave power to JUS
tees to suppress unnecessary tipping
houses. it was chiefly directed against
using unlawful games, and bound the
licensed victualers to keep good order
in their houses. The act in the first
wear of James was intended to restrain
the inordinate haunting and tipping in
inns and ale houses; it declares the
..true use of ale houses" to be for the
relief of wayfarers, and not for the
entertainment of lewde and idle peo-
pie" There was to be penalty OF ten
shillings for permitting unlawful
drinking" and all drinkingwas unlaw-
full except by bona fide travellers, by
the guests of travellers, and by artisans
and laborers during their dinner hour.
The public house was only to be open
to residents in the locality for one hour
in the day, for the consumption of
liquor on the premises. This act was
made perpetual, with some mOdifica-
tons intended to render conviction more
easy. in the last Parliament of James.
In the first of Charles the penalties were
somewhat relaxed; but the law could
not be enforced, and under these strin-
gent laws drunkenness increased apace.
1t had reached an extraordinary pitch
in 1859, when French Protestant
wrote from London: There is within
this city, and in all the towns of En-
gland which have passed through, so
prodigious number of houses where
they sell certain drink called ale, that
/ think a good half of the inhabitants
NAV be denominated ale house keepers.
But what is most deplorable
where gentlemen sit and spend much
of their time drinking a muddy kind OF
beverage, and tobacco, which has uni
versally besotted the nation, and al
which l hear they have consumed many
noble estates. And thai
nothing may be wanting to the height
of luxury and impiety of this abomina'
ton, they have translated the organs
out of the churches to set them up ii
taverns, chanting their dithyrambic'
and bestial bacchanalias to the tune o.
those instruments which were wont t.
assist them in the celebration of Cod
praises, and regulate the voices of the
worst singers in the world, which art
the English in their churches at present

HAS HE FORGOTTEN2
What VIII Kill All of MI. Evart's Presi
identIaI Aspirations.

identIaI Aspirations.
A dinner consisting in part of Boston
brown bread, Boston baked beans and
Boston crackers was lately eaten in st.
Louis by the members of the New En-
gland Society of that town. This some
what arid diet, it appears from the
published reports, was relieved and be-
dewed by the eloquence of Senator
Evarts, and by copious draughts of
crab-apple cider. The occasion was
also enlivened by the nomination of
Mr. EvartS for President of the United
States. Mr.. James Richardson, of St.
Louis, introduced the New York Sem
ator as a statesman who had 'filled the
highest Office in the land but one. The
people of the United States" added
Mr.. Richardson, "are waiting his will
and pleasure to adorn and exalt the
Executive chair" There was a good
deal of applause and considerable
laughter when the waggish gentleman
reversed the general understanding of
Mr. Evarts' position in regard to the
Executive chair, namely, that it is he
who is waiting the will and pleasure of
the people of the United States before
seating himself therein.
Mr.. Evarts, however, seems to have
taken the nomination in earnest. He
proceeded to develop his theories of
popular government, and made an I'M
Unstable bid for the Western vote. His
remarks were excellent, and there is
only one passage in the printed report
of his speech which we do not quite I'M
derstand. He intends to run for PreSi-
dent, we infer, on Il platform declaring
the inviolability of American suffrage.
Every man is free and equal. Every
citizen has an equal voice in the Ma
tons councils. "What an upheaval
of society there would be-" exclaimed
Mr. Evarts, ''if any man lawfully cit
izen by the laws and constitution of
the country should be prevented from
voting or told that his vote when re-
ceived would not be counted"
Has Mr.. Evarts already forgotten
how he happened to occupy 1.-The
highest office in the land but One?"
Has he forgotten two very ingenious
speeches which he delivered on Febru-
ary and February 10, 1877, before a
body known to history as the Electoral
Commission, in which he told certain
citizens of Louisiana and Florida that
their votes. although received, ought
not to be counted?-N. Y. Sun.

AN ABUSED MAN.

The Republicans Now Admit That Secre-
tary Bayard Is No Hot-Headed Blum
derer. But n Wise Statesman.
While the Blaine organs, inspired by
the arch-disturber himself, were abus-
ing Secretary Bayard for what they
termed his cowardly policy in relation
TO the seizures of American fishing yes
sells by the Canadian authorities, Ire
was pushing forward with skill, judg-
ment and vigor the American side of
the question, and manifesting a spirit
and determination worthy of the great
country he represents. Blaine, Frye
and other demagogues accused him of
trucking to England and sacrificing
the rights of our fishermen by not pro-
voking a rupture with the British Gov
ernment Mr.. Bayard remained silent
under this fire, quietly attending to his
duty in far more practical and vigor-
Gus manner than his detractors recon-
mende&.
When the proper time came he laid
the matter before Congress and COW
cred his detractOrs with shame and con-
fusion. There was an instantaneous
reaction in his favor. even on the part
of those who most violently abused
him, and it is now universally acknowl-
edged that the course of the State De
partment all through this fishery dis
pute has been eminently wise and pat
riotic. Even the New York Tribune,
which most fiercely assailed Mr.. Bay
ard, is forced 70 acknowledge: 1.-The
State Department has argued various
phases of the fisheries question with
iucidity and logical acumen during the
year. It has had strong case, and
with the powerful aid of Mr.. Phelps has
forcibly presented it." This is change
of heart from an unexpected quarter
and shows that truth must prevail even
where falsehood is most cultivated.
But the Tribune might spare its adj
vice to the Administration in urging
commercial retaliation against Cana
dian vessels in American ports. 1t
criticises the Administration for pre-
ferring diplomatic method to aggres-
siye action Fortunately for the
country, the Administration does not
propose to use such an extreme policy,
unless as last resort, and selects the
safer and more satisfactory method OF
conciliatory argument. The State De
partment does not intend to submit to
the Canadian Governments arbitrary
